Examination OF the Presidents Plan.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The free trader is generally pretty safe if
he confines himself TO theory and makes no
attempt to put his work into practice by at
lacking the tariff with definite scheme OF
reduction. When Mr. Morrison attempted
to do this he produced horizontal tariff bill
which wa, horizontal absurdity and he has
never tried again. Sr. Mr.. Mills perpendic-
ular percentage bill IS another practical alb
surdity under which our entire tariff system
would be thrown into confusion with no GER
tainty that it would reduce revenue, although
| it would diminish protection.
President c cveland has fallen into the
same pit. He would heve been comparatively
safe if he had come out as hat-footed free
| trader and stopped there. Men can wrangie
over a theory forever, but when he put down
in plain words what he meant to do hi. whole
work falls to pieces of its own weight. Mr.
Cleveland proposes to cut $50 900 600 of of
the tariff as it stands. This would bring on
the panic he breads, because at six months
notice ii would bring a more extreme free
trade tariff than England has today.
This isa plain matter of figures. The
tariff raised last year. ending June 80, 1887,
was S2l2 .032 42i. Oue-fourth of this, OF
( 90 ,0i6.656, is from sugar. The President
does not propose 10 touch this. Raw materi-
ais and manufactures are his point of attack,
and the duty on sugar is now on revenue
basis. As Mr.. Cleveland retains the internal
I f..l.. ..F.
beer. he cannot reduce the tariff on these
articles. Tobacco, in 1887, brought; in So.
1914 The revenue on liquors has not yet
been published, but it was not less than So
900, 900, the previous two years on smaller
imports yielding an average of 81 ,250, 900
Jewelry returns $500, 900 annually; Iaees,
81 900 900; velvets, 50 900. 900 gloves. So
900 000 perfumery, $3.50 000; music boxes,
$3.50 900 and other Injuries $500 000--in all
full 81 600 900 is raised from Injuries pure
and simple Beside the SO 900 600 raised on
silk, velvet and lsces, Sl3 100000 is raised
on silks which Secretary Manning included
in his list of Injuries last year, and which il
is fair to conclude President Cleveland does
This gives ms this total revenue, which on
his own view must be left untouched, the
mems in round figures being estimates from
last year:
sugar : IS, oi6,6s6
Tobacco. ~ ,75s
Liquors. $50 900
silk lace and velvet 5000 900
Other silk manufactures, l5'5io 900

This lays aside nearly one-half of the tariff
on which no reduction would be made upon
Mr.. Cleveand's principle, and the revision
must fall on the remaining sll7 900 900. from
which 10000 900 must be deducted. This
remainder was raised last year from these

Something to Think About.

There is some profit in growing
corn and selling it at thirty cents a
bushel There is more profit in
growing the corn and feeding it to
stock. But the greater profit is in
turning the hog into bacon. Why
should our farmers as intelligent
men, produce corn and hogs, and
allow others to reap the benefits OF
their labor. Why should we pro
duce wool, grow broom corn, raise
vegetables and make ourselves poor
by allowing the profits of these
products to go into the Golfers ot
other communities.

1t is not easy to convince the
young men and the irrepressibIe
boys who go in bathing during the
heated spell that it is possible to
have too much of a good thing.
But the numerous cases of deaths
by drowning and the seemingly un-
accountable way in which young
people of the sterner sex succumb
to fever, congestive chill, inAamma-
ton of the bowels and other allied
complaints ought to awaken them
and their parents to the fact that
great risk rs involved in a proIong-
ed bath. 1t is very much safer for
a lad to jump in while recking with
perspiration and then sit for a few
moments under shower of spray
from a miniature fall than to remain
in the warmest pool or on the bank
till chilly sensation is experienced.
Ten minutes immersion is long
enough for bath under any and all
circumstances. Anything beyond
that can do no good and may do un-

There was time when the en-
conragement of immigration was
an important object of statesman
ship. In the early part of this con-
tnry colonists were offered such
privileges as an exemption from
taxation for a term of years, grants
of lands, advances for the purpose of
building and maintenance until tho
first harvest, and freedom from civ
il and military service. OF late,
however, not only in America but
in Europe, there has been evidences
of change of feeling in respect to
this matter. In the European coun-
tries the pressure of population upon
subsistence and the burden of in
dustrial competition have been most
severely felt In England, as has
been pointed out, demand has
been growing for the restriction of
foreign immigration; while Russia,
usually SO generous to immigrants,
has lately forbidden foreigners to
acquire estates on its western
frontiers, and is taking measures to
prevent the further development of
industries in which foreign work
men arc employed. In the United
States, however, we don't object to
the quantity of ofimmigration SO much
as it's quality. The country has
enough land to support ten times It's
present population of industrious
people and be benefited thereby.
